Characters of The Crucible: Abigail Williams
A study of the description of Abigail in Act 1 of the Crucible which says "an endless capacity for dissembling".
This study looks in depth at the different faces of Abigail Williams in the opening act of the Crucible. The next video will go on to study the way she behaves in the courtroom when she manipulates the girls and stands up to Judge Danforth.

oh congratulations!!! how'd it go?
10 years ago. This is me as a 26 year old teacher. I'm not a teacher anymore. I'm a full time musician now but it's interesting to watch how life used to be. I'm glad people are still finding these videos useful.

Wynona Ryder did a wonderful portrayl of abigail, playing three different personalities in one girl
@DeeperRootsProject Thanks so much for your videos on The Crucible. I'm doing it for my HSC in Australia and these videos help me a lot!
Thanks so much for all of your Crucible videos! My final performance piece will be based around the Crucible, and I've been given the role of Abigail. I really appreciate your in-depth look at her character--it's made her so much clearer.
This is the first helpful video I've seen all day. I just got Abigail in a small production of it. This is my first antagonist role, and this video is really useful :D
We read this play and watched this movie in my American Lit class earlier this year. Good play and excellent movie/adaptation.
No, the Salem Witch Trials did actually happen. The Crucible is loosely based on those events, but the play is also an allegory for McCarthyism
We open this show at my school in two weeks, & Abigail is, by far, the most fun character I have ever had. :D This really helped affirm that I'm taking the right approach to her; thank you!

Thanks for putting this up here! I am auditioning for the part of Abigail this week! I'll let you know how it goes!
Very good analysis. :)
this helped me so much, thank you!
You remind me of Game of Thrones' Jon Snow omg. ALSO this video was totally helpful for my character study into Abigail! Thanks ever so! :D
Thankyou so much. You've helped me so much with my essay x
can someone please tell me a good literature website for analysis of this play? My english teacher has completely butchered it and I'm basically teaching myself at this point.
It's available on DVD at any store. Certainly here in the UK.
Heya I think this is reall helpful for anyone playing Abigal. I am playing her in my drama AS exam so this has really helped me understand her character and help with the acting. Cheers for that

I got cast as abigail in my Play Production class, it's going to be a great production. I'm so lucky to work with some very amazing actors and i wanted to compare the abigail you see in the movie with the abigail I play. Very interesting!

really helpful thank you :)
I suppose that depends on how you define justice. I think Proctor feels he got justice because he went to the noose but he felt that that's what he deserved. It is a very sad ending though.
Thanks this really helped
Where did you play the clip from? Where did you get the movie/play?
Yeah I know. I was using iShowU at the time and didn't have a video converter. The majority of my videos don't have that now.
HAVE FUN!!!!
wow this is really good i have an oral exam how abigail is presented in the first act and i haven't read the book in two years. so thankyou(Y)
2:00 that slap never gets old. I can watch that all day.
post the whole movie!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is would be great if I were reviewing body language and how she vocally portrays her character, but for GCSE English it wasn't as helpful because I can't talk about either of those things as it's the written play not the movie that I'm reviewing. But thanks anyway! :)
@DeeperRootsProject The analysis of Abigail you have done is very well. However, do you think that this multiple personality used to manipulate people's mind and her bold and defiant attitude could be because she grew up an orphan? Because she had always been treated badly? Because she had to fight for her own survival?
great movie
just act 1 and act 3 ;)... my show just finished.. was amaaaazing, i was giles corey :P
When clips are shown, there appears to be a mouse in the center of the screen. It does get distracting at times and would be better if it was off to one side. Other than that, I enjoyed listening to what you had to say.
thank you.. i'm playing abby.. this has helped (:
I wish i'd looked this stuff up wen i had my English exam on this!! myt of passed then haha
What? In the film?
Thanks for this, i found this extremely helpful! i think ive got it now...i think... :P
I'm also reading this in my english class. And right now we're watching the movie, and oh my! There's a lot of screaming! The book isn't that bad as I thought it would be!
That's the best scene. So much under the surface. She has a lot of contempt. Abigail's far less subtle so I can see why you'd want to be her.
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought he looked like kit harington
@weijoshual It could be any one of a number of things. Unfortunately we're never allowed to know that. Maybe because Miller felt it would remove some of the symbolism embodied in Abby.
oh my gosh ! me too ! :)
@PiecesOfRainbow7 Me too. :D
Thank you for this these videos are really helpful!! r u a teacher>! you would be awesome!!!
Haha, that's a new one. I suppose its because I'm from Middlesbrough which is about 150 miles away from Scotland. :D
... 7:51 ..."i'll not be COMING for you more"...hah giggity, i couldn't resist...;P
Drama teacher. See my channel description for more info. :)
2:00 now THATS a slap!
I am Cheever in our play!
I think what Jenaya123 is saying is that they had long departed from Luther's reformation agenda. However, I'd disagree given that they followed the teachings of John Calvin who wanted to reform the church far further than Luther had.
i'm going on a fieldtrip on tuesday at salem

@kijodragonfist60 I wish I could go there. my friend told me about this town.
Never mind, Hathorne is a bit of small part but he's fairly authoratative so you can get your teeth stuck into him
It's like her feelings are controlled by the actions of reverend parris.

I love your northern accent :)

GCRandom it's suppose to mean lying it's not a different meaning it's an entirely different word
Drama teacher in the UK for 11 to 16 year olds. This is part of the GCSE course that all students across the country do in their final two years of school. I'm just ahead of other teachers who don't like using computers. Sigh.
Try telling that to my year 11s. =(
Which scene? I think Elizabeth is a really juicy part, she's hiding so much contempt for John but still trying to be a good Christian wife.
im in the play, the crucible nd i got the part of abigail! ahahaha
dude i like your accent omfg lol
Im Reverand Hale in English. I just quit the court.
Is she going to fly again? I hear she flies.
huh?
Jon Snow
@ohmygodSARAH they didn't have an affair in real life though, that's why Miller changed their ages.
Oooooooooooooooh, I seeeeee. :p
@RaineSageFan and by hanging people just for looking at them the wrong way
Hi, I'll do my best in 500 characters. Why do you think Abigail would accuse Tituba of making her do the things she did? Think about the way that black people were viewed in the puritan society? By accusing Tituba what was Abigail doing for herself?
The real Abigail Williams was only 11 at the time of the trials dd: The affair is completely fictitious.
excuse me but im abigail williams you do not my permission to make me feel i am not a crucible and i have autism
If i was betty and i got smacked by Abigail I would smaked the heck out of her even if she was bigger then me. I think if one girl stood up to Abigail then the rest of the girls would've fought back. If i was mary i would have told her off i wouldn't even cared if she threatened me because if she touched me or any of the girls there would be a fight. Im sorry but Abigail just get on my nervs with tht lying, cunning, vengeful spirit of hers.
lol mehh too our english class read dis..
Easy Big Fella.
She's just a selfish, jealous little brat who is extremely good at manipulating people. Very Christian I'm sure. There's more videos coming up so please consider subscribing. :-)

Abigail Williams is the most hateful character in history of cinema.
